Reply #148: Kerry killed Bush in the first debate [View All]

But, the 2nd and 3rd debates, while clearly Kerry wins, were closer. Both candidates got better with each debate.

Even with Diebold, it was still a close election... and this story could have swung a good number of undecideds our way. I believe there were more of them than many think - unfortunately, Kerry was so demonized by the Republicans, their attacks dogs and the state run media that many ended up thinking Bush was the lesser of 2 evils.

I honestly heard things like, "Well, I disagree with Bush on just about everything, but I voted for him..."

and, "I hate Bush, but he was the lesser of 2 evils, that Kerry... woo boy."

and, that wasn't just from 2 people.
